Renaissance Hotel or Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel is quite nice to stay as it is walking distance to shopping area and train station.

I used Royal Brunei Airlines from Jakarta to Shanghai and have to transit at Bandar Seri Begawan Airport for several hours. Royal Brunei have a beautiful counter in the airport. However, there is something wrong in this picture. There should be customer service on the counter. Where are they?
This week topic is Weekly Photo Challenge: Green. I have several pictures of green coin. This green coin is a train ticket in Shenzhen when I visited China. It has wireless frequency detection for us to tap on the entrance gate machine when we want to go inside the station. We put inside exit gate machine when we want to go out from the station. Nothing left for merchandise but these pictures 🙂

I was going to Pulau Umang. I made this panorama picture using automate photo merge action in Photoshop. I noticed there are some color different in the picture. Maybe, I will adjust it one day. 🙂
Anyway, Pulau Umang is an island located at western part of Java, namely Ujung Kulon, Banten. Ujung Kulong is famous with its Java Rhino. To go to this Island, we should go to Ujung Kulon which is around 6 hours driving from Jakarta. We will park our car near the dock. Using speed boat, we will arrive at the island in 15 minutes. The building in the picture is the main hall. We will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in there. They have a karaoke at night. Love it. During day time, they offered many water sport activities. Snorkeling is quite nice. Air is fresh and water is clean. Facilities are also quite complete. They have jacuzzi. Nice. After you relax and happy in the island, I believe you will have a lot of stamina to drive back to Jakarta to face your routine daily activities. 😀
They have a website. Check it out: www.pulau-umang.com
This week topic is Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry. I have been to Kampoeng Strawberry Bungalow and Restaurant at Ciwidey Bandung. I took picture of their stairs in front of the lobby. From this picture, we can see a nice repetition shapes and rhythms which is coming from stairs, pillars, and roof. Additional two strawberry statues give a nice taste on the building structure. Actually, this stairs is quite busy. Therefore, I have to wait until nobody use this stair before I shot it.
For you who want to go to Kampoeng Strawberry, I have shot their poster for more information about them. This place is about one and half hour driving from Bandung City. I can say this is a quite nice place to spend time with family during weekend. Cheers.
